Create email subscriptions, podcast lists, and integrations with news aggregators using RSS feed URLs. RSS feeds provide automatic content delivery and updates from your site to subscribers.

Understanding RSS Feeds

RSS feeds automatically update with your latest content, creating .xml files for:

• Latest 20 items (blog posts, products, events)
• Latest 300 podcasts

Finding Your RSS URL

Add ?format=rss to any blog, events, store, gallery, or album page URL after the page slug.

Note: RSS feeds won't work with site-wide or page passwords enabled.

Email Subscriptions Setup

1. Create a Mailchimp list
2. Add newsletter/form block to your site
3. Connect block to Mailchimp list
4. Create RSS Campaign using feed URL
5. Link campaign to email list

Common Uses

1. Blog Subscriptions:

• Add RSS Block
• Connect with FeedBurner
• Share feed URL for readers like Feedly and Bloglovin'

2. Podcasting:

• Set up specialized blog page
• Connect with Apple Podcasts using RSS tags

Troubleshooting Tips

If feed isn't working:

• Verify correct RSS URL format
• Disable passwords
• Ensure site is public and paid
• Check domain connection
• Validate feed using W3C Feed Validation Service

Feed limitations:

• 20 most recent blog posts
• Calendar events show current month only
• Gallery feeds exclude metadata

For reliable RSS feeds, use built-in URLs instead of custom domains.
